Quake 3 Map Compile Benchmark

[Scourge]

You always seem to have problems with this program. I think it just doesn't like you. I figured the Intels would get a slightly better score even with a .33ghz lower clock.

QUAKE3 MAP BENCHMARK 1.3 - RESULTS
==================================
OS = WinXP
CPU = Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
RAM = 2047 MByte
==================================
Map Compile = 00:04
Vis = 00:06
Bspc = 00:11
Lightning = 00:22
Total = 00:43

im actually running 6gbs of ram(but crappy 32bit lets me cap at 3gb max.)

lol... stumbled upon this through google...

This tool has been officially referenced in a Ph.D thesis:

http://caia.swin.edu.au/cv/szander/thesis/thesis.html

See Appendix D, first page, reference 253:

It's actually a pretty interesting thesis... explaining how information can be hidden within slight variations in the noise of internet traffic, including the data going back and forth between server and client in quake3.

Hmmm... the tool doesn't work properly on my computer. Just lists the specs (incorrectly) and no benchmarks.

I added your results and everyone else's into the benchmark... only took 14 months to get around to it... I hadn't even put the site up in months since changing servers... at least that's less time than it takes doomer to update icons.

hmm thats odd i did about the same even though ive oc'd my cpu to 2.9ghz and ram to 1.9mhz

Map Compile = 00:01

everything in stars ** is the actual info that i added.

Lightning = 00:19
Total = 00:40


I also didn't show much of an advantage by overclocking more. I don't understand the trend. I ran the test first at 3.8GHz, got 41 seconds, then 4.4GHz and got 43 seconds....and finally I ran it at 4.3GHz which scored me 40 seconds.

I imagine it has to do a lot with how well the motherboard is constructed actually, as well as system services that are enabled.


also....the test results have a typo

it's "lighting" not "lightning"

got new cpu cooler so i oc'd and got some ram..

That....that is a compile time.

that's 12.5% faster if I can math my numbers.

I gotta get me one of them.


You should see if you can test q3dm17

bsp -meta -samplesize 4
vis
light -samplesize 4 -bouncegrid -bounce 8 -super 2 - filter

(note : I'm not entirely sure what good super 2 does, I've only ever seen it make ONE of my maps look better and I'm not even sure what it's doing code-wise, it just made the patchmeshes light better. I do know that it'll add forever and a half to your compile time)

I just got an i5-2500 and Intel SSD, so had to try it out...

What a stupid thread.

[obsidian]

It's a good thing we needed your opinion, sunshine.

What a stupid thread.

What a stupid post.

No likey q3

Running this diddly thing again for fun. My system is over a year old:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
32GB RAM
nVidia RTX 3060Ti FE

My RAM isn't being reported correctly, not that it matters, I think it's running the 32-bit version of Q3Map2. Also, I'm running Windows 10 Pro. :disgust:

Much faster than the nearly 3 minutes from back when this post first started!
